Review of April to do list

Action hours: Let's try to roll out action hour again but with a clearer idea of what we want to get out of it.

Recruitment and personal connections: Everyone who attended May meeting invite will invite 1 new person to attend the June meeting

Social Networking: Working with social networking companies... What feature is missing on OWW that any of these companies can offer? What tools do scientists need to be part of a social network? The hope is that they'll provide more collaboration between users.
